It's essential that nothing is done with @GOVUK proposals which allows employers to play fast and loose with workers’ #pensions. The Maxwell scandal must never be repeated. 1/4

"It's outrageous that a member state of the United Nations is working to dismantle a UN agency which also happens to be the largest responder in the humanitarian operation in #Gaza."

We're outside Parliament this evening to protest Israel's continued attacks on Gaza's healthcare system and medical staff. The British government must #StopArmingIsraelNOW!

[Motasem A Dalloul @AbujomaaGaza]

The UN nominates Francesca Albanese (@FranceskAlbs) the person of the year!

As a Gaza resident, I appreciate her work and loyalty to human principles!

She didn’t spare any effort to disclose Israeli crimes and defend our rights!

[Andrew Feinstein @andrewfeinstein]

How is this legal?
‘Lord Walney is vice chair of the Parliamentary Group for AUKUS – the military pact between the US, UK & Oz. The group received £15k from defence contractors BAE, Babcock, & £1,5k of services from the defence industry lobby group ADS.’

UNRWA has your full support?

You have provided military, political and economic assistance to the country which is engaged in the mass slaughter of UNRWA workers. Those workers didn’t ‘lose their lives’. They were murdered, with British help.

Two stories on the BBC News website this morning:

If only this government would treat profiteering landlords the same way the last government treated dedicated public sector workers ... i.e. a multi-year rent freeze to start with

[PCS - the civil service union @pcs_union]

New research from the @UniofOxford has recognised UK civil servants as among the best in the world, underscoring the vital role played by PCS members in delivering public services.

The British government needs to take responsibility for its actions in escalating the war in Ukraine. We need to step back from the nuclear brink with peace talks and a lasting political settlement.

[Stop the War Coalition @STWuk]

MPs and peace campaigners hand in letter to the prime minister calling on Britain to end its reckless role in intensifying the war in Ukraine.

[Thompsons Solicitors @ThompsonsLaw]

The Supreme Court has ruled in favour of the Public and Commercial Services Union @pcs_union in a landmark case confirming that the union can, as a third party, sue Government Departments for losses it suffered as a result of the removal of its members' rights to pay check-off payroll deductions for union dues. The judgment marks the first time the Supreme Court has examined the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999. More here: https://t.co/W9HSydFuBd #UKEmpLaw

In our first evidence session of the new Parliament, Professor Nizam Mamode speaks about the devastation he saw when he first arrived in Gaza to carry out medical support.

US says Israel hasn't breached its law against blocking aid in #Gaza. How? ⁦@CommonsIDC⁩ heard yesterday that only 65 trucks got in, US stated it had to be 350! Another surreal twist while civilians continue to die https://t.co/YkMQXGp8SV

“Would you regard what you saw as genocide?"

This testimony is chilling.

Thanks to @GarySpedding for posting these clips.

@Keir_Starmer and @DavidLammy absolutely need to respond to this. Everyone can see what’s happening. There’s no hiding anymore.

[Prem Sikka @premnsikka]

Ofwat has approved water bill hike of up to 44% for 2025-2030.

Companies want 84%, hand more to shareholders. Ofwat likely to yield.

Will they invest?

Companies may remove dangerous lead pipes by year 3273 instead of 2050.

End the scam. Nationalise.

This is a massive media scandal.

@SkyNews posted a video accurately describing what happened in Amsterdam.

It described violence perpetrated by Israeli football hooligans, and their hideous racism.

They then deleted it. This is the original.

[Matt Wrack @MattWrack]

The National Audit Office’s report this week has exposed the failings of politicians at Westminster in addressing the cladding crisis.

They predict that the cladding crisis could take until 2037 to resolve. We won’t accept that, we won’t wait.
